 "Mizoram by-election 2021: K Laldawngliana sworn in as MLA")
Aizawl: Newly elected MLA from Tuirial constituency K Laldawngliana was on Friday sworn in as a member of the Mizoram Assembly. Speaker Lalrinliana Sailo administered the oath of office and secrecy to the legislator in a ceremony held at the Annex Building of the House here. Chief Minister Zoramthanga, his cabinet colleagues and a host of MLAs attended the swearing-in ceremony. Laldawngliana, who had contested the Tuirial bypoll on a ruling Mizo National Front ticket, defeated his nearest rival Laltlanmawia of Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM) by a margin of 1,284 votes. The by-election was necessitated due to the death of MLA Andrew H. Thangliana. The MNF’s strength, in the 40-member assembly, is now 28, while the Congress has five members, the ZPM and the BJP have one each. There are five Independent legislators, who have allied with the ZPM.
